Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library presents “Stand Tall, Molly Lou Melon” by Patty Lovell. “Molly Lou Melon is short and clumsy – and has a voice that sounds like a bullfrog being squeezed by a boa constrictor.

There will be 3 or 4 actors from Dollywood’s Little Engine Playhouse, performing. This program is FREE and open to all ages (and perfect for toddlers and kindergarteners!)!
